Detectives interviewed Little at the Wise County Confinement Facility in Decatur, Texas, after the FBI alerted the department about what he told a Texas Ranger in 2018. Little said he picked up both women in the same area in Fort Wayne at different times on the same night in late October 1980. Little said he strangled both women while they were in his vehicle, then disposed of their bodies in separate areas of rural Allen County, the department said.

Boyd and Porter were reported missing by family members in late October 1980. Boyd’s body was found Nov. 4, 1980, in a field. Porter’s body was found Dec. 13, 1980, off a road.

Little is imprisoned in California, serving life sentences.

Both investigations have been forwarded to the Allen County Prosecutor’s Office.
